With the arrival of summer, the 2018–19 fellowship year has drawn to a close and the Center staff bids farewell to the remarkable scholars who have formed a close-knit community over the past nine months. In departing, this year’s class not only made a substantial collective gift to the Center’s annual fund (more than 30% higher than their initial goal) but also contributed a persimmon tree, now planted at the Center, for future scholars and visitors to enjoy.
Below is a small gallery of images from the year.
